<p>I wasn’t clear on the “Over 300K”- it sounded like everyone that made over 300K would pay 50% of their income after being taxed on education.</p>
<p>Even so, with your idea, say a family makes 600K a year AFTER taxes. So, they should be taxed 150K for education on top of their previous taxes which were extremely high? That’s 25% before even being factored with the initial income tax. And the more they make, the larger % they will pay for education after their initial taxes.</p>
<p>Get ride of affirmative action seeing as it doesn’t mitigate prejudices whatsoever.</p>
<p>^^ I have no problem with that. I don’t think people need $600k in take-home pay every year. </p>
<p>And yes, I was pretty clear. You just couldn’t get past the 50% number. I made it pretty clear when I said take-home pay over $300k after taxes.</p>
<p>^^Well, Proposition 209 was passed.</p>
<p>^ That’s one state.</p>
<p>Well my point again, I doubt you would feel the same way if you made $600K a year.</p>
<p>@Romani: I don’t see that ever happening. People who make that much will never go for it. Just saying…</p>
<p>I said this earlier, but I’m for socioeconomic instead of racial AA.</p>
<p>^^^It’s also the most populous state in America.</p>
<p>I was solely stating an example of efforts attributed towards abolishing it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My family’s been rich and it’s been poor. We live the same no matter what and I am entirely happy with that. Excess money I make already goes to charity. So yes, I’d probably be singing the exact same tune. </p>
<p>@Chocolate. I never said it WOULD happen. I said I wish it would lol.</p>
<p>^ Well, I’d rather have control over what causes my money goes to, and be able to make sure it was used efficiently. The government /might/ would waste it on various wars, rabbit hunting choppers, bridges to nowhere, etc.</p>
<p>Do people get M.D.'s to pay over 50% of what they worked so hard for on taxes? What about those that are making $1 million? They’d be paying like 75% in taxes. Sure, they will still be making a large income, but that is a stupid idea and it would never pass.</p>
<p>^^^Yeah, yeah, I was just saying…how do you respond to arguments like MosbyMarion? And to people who think they are already over-taxed? Or who see it as immoral?</p>
<p>For someone who makes it seem like they care oh so much for others, that’s a very selfish idea.</p>
<p>A ridiculous tax like that would just hurt the capitalist market seeing as it kills the major incentive for competition and success. Even a cliched movie character knows that greed is good.</p>
<p>^Gordan Gekko!?!?!!??!</p>
<p>The point was actually the opposite in that movie…</p>
<p>Haha. You guys make me laugh. I said what I said. I said it wasn’t a general tax. It goes solely to education which means it can’t go towards wars. </p>
<p>puggly, I don’t much care for you. When you learn how to read properly, then I will engage in further debate. Until then, I am going to go do homework and enjoy a rainy Costa Rican evening. Adios all.</p>
<p>Don’t care much for you, either. I’m so glad people like you with such radical ideas don’t run our country.</p>
<p>
Gordan Gekko is a bro.</p>
<p>^Bros go to prison?</p>
<p>^ Only to return more bro than ever.</p>
